Kinda like what they did in Animated.

I'll have to see him in person, but right now I might skip Leader Primet this time around.

unless there's some energon-flavored chewing gum I've never heard about.

That PRime is almost movie accurate. I'm holding out for the premium versions for these.

I wonder if they are going to make a Voyager Megatron too like they did last time. If this Prime doesn't combine, I'll probably just stick with the Voyagers.

LOL, good one! And I didn't notice it until I read omega's comment.

how do we know that there is going to be premium series someone once said if we hold for premuim we may not get it its 50/50 chance maybe the premium was just one time thing all we know.
it would be great if hasbro tells us if there is a premium series coming to the line so went wont be buiying 2 of the same figures like the last film & maybe theyll who is in & whos not in the premium series.
the ark must be pretty mad that megatrons head is exposed his head looks just like concept art versions with better detail from the first leader class megaton

Best. Post. Ever.
As for the figs, I'm not a big fan of the orange swords on Prime. I wish they would have stuck with the sword appearance from the premium version. As for Megs, he just looks badass. I can understand the so-called "gimp" arm if it is true and they rebuilt him from the parts of other bots (who may not necessarily be Megsy's size)...after all, that arm got blown off at some point in the last movie (watch when he gets dropped into the ocean...I seem to remember that anyways).

How are these tiny little gears going to hold up over time?
Other than that, they look great! And Megatron really looks damn good!

Exactly what I was thinking, wouldn't be surprised if after he gets destroyed (again), and brought back from the dead for the third installment, he'll have a fully G1 head and be called Galvatron. Because, you know, Michael Bay is just that original and ahead of the curve [/sarcasm]
Seriously though, I'm glad I didn't pick up any of the leader figures from last time, especially Megsy, my nephew was not so smart and forced me to transform him... That was a bitch and a half to do. The articulation on Optimus seems to be much improved, and Megsy just looks freaking awesome, even with his new handycapable feature.
Looks like my "I'm Only Picking Up Wheelie, Sideways, Sideswipe, and Devastator" List is now gonna be "I'm Only Picking Up Wheelie, Sideways, Sideswipe, Leader Optimus, Leader Megsy, and maybe Devvy" list..

We don't and they won't
It wouldn't make any sense from their end to tell us ahead of time there is going to be a premium series...Then half their market wouldn't buy the first round...

Megatron's tank mode is wicked! I'm totally in love with this new design, and the toy looks brilliant! Great job on the headsculpt too, now that we can finally see it.

megatron looks like a deffinet buy from me but the gun hand
Posted by munkimus prime on February 27th, 2009 @ 2:31pm CST
They're both great looking figures and I can't wait for the toyline to be released.
Posted by rwalsh17 on February 27th, 2009 @ 2:35pm CST
ROTF Prime looks wicked, but I'm afraid that they scaled him down a bit, just like they did with ROTF Voyager Starscream. I'd love to see how the new Prime measures up!

It DOES look a lot like that and I LOVED that game
I'm completely digging the new tank mode...It's about 1,000,000,000x better than that stupid boring jet mode from the last one (wasn't so bad in the movie but the toys just looked rediculous)...
Posted by Heavy B on February 27th, 2009 @ 4:00pm CST
man, megatron looks like a mis-matched hodge podge of crap hasbro couldn't sell the first time around.
Posted by YRQRM0 on February 27th, 2009 @ 4:01pm CST
Optimus is also a huge improvement, the only thing is that pipe kibble on his "wings". But if he combines, I'll be frced to getim anyways, if not, he might still be worth it, but I'll have to buy Megatron before him.

If you look at the pic of Prime in his box you can clearly see that his wings are transformed differently and that the pipes kibble is not visible.. so my guess is he is mistransformed in the other pics.
Posted by Ultra Magnus on February 27th, 2009 @ 4:28pm CST
I knew there was a reason I waited to pick Prime up last time around... I HAVE TO HAVE ONE! Megatron's pretty cool too...
Don'tcha love the way his leg kibble's broken in the box? Let's hope they don't ship that way.
Posted by soundwave13c on February 27th, 2009 @ 4:37pm CST
optimus looks cool, he looks like he is more possible with the feet. I dont like the wings, but at least he dosent look like he has as much back kibble as the first Prime.

Toys with challenging transformations are the most fun, and that one looks like a FAB.
Prime is nice, but I don't like the pipes sticking out above his head. And his paint isn't as accurate as the frst, but he will be on my shelf.

I'm the one that asked for a pic of the back of Optimus's box before that, hoping we could see if it showed anything about combining with Jetfire. He said he would, but he did not.

Bearing in mind the balls up they've made with Devvo I'd say "don't get your hopes up". Besides, Jetfire would have to be four times as big as Prime to be in scale.
